To be honest, I wouldn't bother. Although many people _publish_ SPF
records, and all the graphs of adoption will show this figure,
relatively few people are actually rejecting mail due to SPF failure.

If any sites _are_ rejecting the mail which you forward, simply advise
them to stop using SPF. Refer them to something like
http://david.woodhou.se/why-not-spf.html or something similar.

I've implemented SRS in my own servers, and I use it for other purposes.
Although I have a blacklist for SPF-afflicted domains, I haven't
actually had much cause to use it. Whenever I've found a site rejecting
the mail which I forward, they've disabled their SPF checking as soon as
I've actually explained how it 'works'.
